Butyrate fermentation is a process that produces butyric acid via anaerobic bacteria. This process occurs commonly in clostridia which can be isolated from many anaerobic environments such as mud, fermented foods , and intestinal tracts or feces. [ 1 ]
Clostridium butyricum is a strictly anaerobic endospore-forming Gram-positive butyric acid–producing bacillus subsisting by means of fermentation using an intracellularly accumulated amylopectin-like α-polyglucan (granulose) as a substrate. It is uncommonly reported as a human pathogen and is widely used as a probiotic in Japan, Korea, and ...
[1] [2] Resistant starch occurs naturally in foods, but it can also be added as part of dried raw foods, or used as an additive in manufactured foods. [ 3 ] Some types of resistant starch (RS1, RS2 and RS3) are fermented by the large intestinal microbiota , conferring benefits to human health through the production of short-chain fatty acids ...
"Butyricicoccus pullicaecorum gen. nov., sp. nov., an anaerobic, butyrate-producing bacterium isolated from the caecal content of a broiler chicken". International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology. 58 (12): 2799–2802. doi: 10.1099/ijs.0.65730-0. PMID 19060061.
Since butyrate inhibits the production of NF-kB and IFN-y, both involved in the pro-inflammatory response, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii acts as an anti-inflammatory gut bacterium. [13] [14] [15] By blocking the NF-kB pathway, F. prausnitzii indirectly inhibts the production of the pro-inflammatory IL-8, secreted by the intestinal epithelial ...
Microbial food cultures are live bacteria, yeasts or moulds used in food production. Microbial food cultures carry out the fermentation process in foodstuffs. Used by humans since the Neolithic period (around 10 000 years BC) [1] fermentation helps to preserve perishable foods and to improve their nutritional and organoleptic qualities (in this case, taste, sight, smell, touch).
These bacteria are among the most abundant taxa in the rumen [12] and the human gut microbiota. [3] [13] [14] [15] Members of this family may protect against colon cancer in humans by producing butyric acid. [16] [17] Lachnospiraceae have been found to contribute to diabetes in genetically susceptible (ob/ob) germ-free mice. [18]
